Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 There are a few companies that do electronic patient statements. All you do is upload a statement file just like you would a billing file. Two companies I can think of are Bill Flash and POS Professional Office Solutions. Also if you use ENS as your clearinghouse for billing claims, they also do statements. You could also check with whatever clearinghouse you use. The cost is really a savings when you think of your paper, envelope, return envelope, toner/ink, and most importantly your time. Its well worth it to outsource statements. Here are some websites, good luck. _www.billflash.com_ (http://www.billflash.com) _www.poscorp.com_ (http://www.poscorp.com) _www.enshealth.com_ (http://www.enshealth.com) Jackie R.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Since things tend to fall off the radar screen, I thought I'd just throw out this friendly HIPAA reminder. If you are using an outside billing service, make sure you get a business associate agreement. Tessa ============================================================ Date: 2006/11/20 Mon AM 10:58:06 EST To: " PTManager " <PTManager > Subject: patient billing Hello all- I am swamped every month with patient statements. It seems that electronic billing has made paper claims minimal, but the patients statements are overwhelming. Do any of you have any knowledge of services that we can have send out our patients copay billings statements? Ideally, it would be nice to have the situation that mimicked E-billing (send the electronic file to the vendor, they generate all the stuff, etc...) Thanks Sac Spine & PT PS Jim Hall, I hope all went well this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 We use a Service through Advantage Software and WebMD. We send a electronic file of our statements that our Software creates then WebMd prints and mails the statement to our clients. It's kind of like electronic billing for Patients.
